I almost never pick up phones, especially calls from unknown sources. But for 3 consecutive days I got missed calls from the same number. The persistence of the caller impressed me, so I looked up the number online; it is registered under a “debt collection, judgment recovery, and private investigation” company.
To my memory, I have never hired a private detective, never borrowed from loan sharks, have no mistress, and have not gotten into a fight since high school, so I became really curious on why kind of business they have for me. So I called them back. After scrambling through their files, they told me they are trying to collect debt from someone else who once owned my current phone number.
When I come home and find a black jacketed guy waiting in my living room, I wonder if he would prefer tea or coffee.
